I rent out my home on AirBNB and I adher to all standards that AirBnB sets and more to make my house a home away from home for all my guests. I have never complained about any of the homes I have rented on AirBnB but this one was pain awful and barely satisfied the standards that AirBnB sets for homes that are rented out and its a shame that AirBnB Thailand does not bother.
First of all, in reality the apartment looked nothing like it did not the post on AirBnB. It's a shame that the owners couldn't care less to make their guests feel comfortable while they rented their home. We were visiting Bkk to attend a friend wedding and since it coincided with the Songkhran festivalEven af, we were unable to find many homes. We selected this house to stay for 4 nights as it looked alright and the location was close to the hotel and restaurant where the reception and events were.
1. There were many previous renters who complained about the noisy air conditioners in both rooms and we thought this issue would have been fixed after so many years. But it was not and we were unable to sleep a wink as there was so much noise.
2. There was a thin cover/blanket on the king size bed, which was smaller than the bed and covered only half the bed.
3. The wifi worked off and on and we had to use our phone wifi most of the time.
4. there was an iron but no ironing board so when I ironed my shirt on the bed, the bedsheet melted like it was plastic...yes melted and spoiled my shirt. We replaced the bad quality bedsheet with a better quality sheet before we left.
5. There was no toaster and the TV was there only for show. No netflix.
6. We found a roach in the bathroom.
The apartment has a lot of potential and if the owners invested just a little to make the apartment a bit more comfortable they would have a lot of happy renters. My kids were ready to leave the first night and even after they sent a handyman to fix the aircon, it was still noisy. We decided to leave earlier than the time we booked. Caution to those booking on AirBnB, what you see is not always what you get and AirBnb is not at all helpful. They gave me $100 for my troubles and I did not want it....wanted a comfortable visit for my family.
